Films and glass
lantern slides produced by the Anti-Cigarette League of America
The Anti-Cigarette League of America was founded in 1899 by Lucy Page
Gaston. Gaston, a teacher who was troubled by the cigarette-smoking boys who
performed poorly in her classes, started the league as part of the temperance
and prohibition movements that were the driving force behind legislation that
banned cigarettes in 15 states. Dissension grew among the members of the league
during World War I, when cigarettes became a symbol of patriotism. Gaston
protested against taxpayer money being spent to ship cigarettes to soldiers
overseas while other members capitulated due to the movement's growing
unpopularity from among the public. Gaston, refusing to compromise, was ousted
from the Anti-Cigarette League of America and continued to form her own
anti-cigarette groups, to little effect. When soldiers returned from World War
I, the popularity of cigarettes exploded and the Anti-Cigarette League fell
from prominence.
Films and lantern slide programs created by the Anti-Cigarette League
of America about the dangers of smoking. Includes presentations on the
following aspects of smoking: famous figures' quotes about smoking,
horticulture and history of tobacco and nicotine, costs associated with
smoking, damage to human organs, the Battle Creek Sanatorium, scientific
experiments, physiological images, medical studies, social and moral issues,
cigarette advertising, women's issues, reformatory schools, prostitution and
venereal disease.
